Enjoyed a very delicious lunch with my mum here. Very much a hidden gem, with great-tasting coffee and a variety of other hot and cold drinks to offer. Reasonable price, food freshly made on site. A wide variety of toasties, sandwiches and other dishes on offer. I got the korean beef and cheese toastie and it was delectable to say the least, and I got the raw coconut latte which had a nice balance of coffee and coconut flavor. My mum got a mango sago drink, which was very good. Her vegetarian breakfast seemed standard but tasted nice and home cooked. The lady running the cafe is kind, with the interior inviting a cute and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely come back to try more of their drinks and food!!

Get in quick! They sell out fast, nice cosy place with delicious food. Got a reasonably priced toasty to go, was keen to try the Hawaiian but I missed it, and regret not trying a favoured frappe cause they sound delicious! maybe next time

Amazing flat white to start the first day of Lunar New Year. Recently visited this Cafe on Albert St, and had an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was cozy, the barista was so nice and friendly. The barista coffee was superb. We had two flat white, and the almond croissant is crispy and delicious. The attention to detail in both the decor and menu made the experience memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delightful cafe experience!

I had a great cappuccino. Probably one of the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had. If I lived in Melbourne this place would be my go to coffee shop. 10/10 atmosphere, 10/10 customer service, 10/10 coffee. Next time I’m around I’ll be coming here for my coffee. I can’t recommend this place enough. I want to keep ranting on about how awesome my coffee was but ik that no one will read the whole thing so to keep it short and simple. I loved the coffee and the customer service.
